Cybersecurity Needs Expanding Beyond Computers or Your Pocket and Into Your Home

LAS VEGAS --(Business Wire)--

Cleve Adams wants you to know that while you were busy updating your
WiFi (News - Alert) router's firewall and giving your laptop a strong password, your
vacuum cleaner and smart lighting system were conspiring with your phone
to steal your online banking information. As a 25-year cybersecurity
veteran and CEO of mobile device security firm, AirPatrol Corporation,
Adams has seen more than his share of hacks, cracks and attacks to
compromise network-connected things, so it probably fair to say that he
knows what he's talking about.

"For twenty years we've been conditioned to focus on firewalls,
anti-virus, anti-malware and other systems designed to secure networks
from outsiders," he said. "But in the past few years we've let an
unprecedented number of Internet-connected things into our homes and
businesses without a moment's thought as to whether they pose a security
risk."

Adams points to smartphones, watches, electronic keys, thermostats,
robot vacuums, home automation, cameras, office heating and ventilation,
and a plethora of other networked objects that can be co-opted by clever
hackers to do things other than what they were originally developed to
do.

"These are all basically computers with an operating system, and none of
the security controls we would normally include in a traditional
system," he said. "Combine that with the fact that they have more or
less unfettered access to your WiFi network and/or your smartphone and
you've got plenty of opportunity for trouble."

With this in mind, Adams and cybersecurity association, Cyber United,
are bringing together a panel of security specialists during annual
Black Hat security confab for a "Securing the Internet of Things
Masters" event. The event will be held on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at the
Charlie Palmer Steak House in the Four Seasons, starting at noon and
ending with a reception following the discussions.

The SIOT Masters will address a broad swatch of industries --
healthcare, auto, energy, consumer goods, and more - and how the growing
number of seemingly harmless, but potentially vulnerable,
Internet-connected devices might be exploited for malicious purposes or
financial gain.

The event is invitation only. For more information and invitations,
please contact AirPatrol at (410) 290-3446 x213 or ledwards@airpatrolcorp.com.
